Throughout the footage, the actor can be seen playing with the parts suggestively. The post accompanying the video actually states: “This kind of material isn't for everyone... viewer discretion is advised. You may see a lot of parts that you haven't seen before.”
Pictured: 'The Witcher' series premiered earlier this year.
Cavill is known for being an avid PC gamer, which led him to seek the main part in Netlfix series, ‘The Witcher’.
Based on a Polish book series by Andrzej Sapkowski, which rose to prominence after being made into a game, the series premiered earlier this year with a second season expected for 2021.
The actor explained he had thoroughly enjoyed playing the game, prompting him to seek the role of Geralt of Rivia,

While most professional gamers take their PC build seriously, Cavill decided to add some fun to the mix with ‘My First, My Last, My Everything’ and other romantic hits from Barry White playing in the background, which give the video a deliberately steamy vibe, straight out of a rom-com scene.
Showing he is not afraid of poking fun at himself or to own up his mistakes, the actor didn’t cut out the scenes which show some of the parts got built the wrong way around in the first place.
